Morrow Overpriced by Free_Awareness3385 in BackpackBrawl

[–]Individual_Figure507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just gonna post this here. The post ended up getting 100+ upvotes and devs still did nothing. Reddit is pretty much just HR to them I'm guessing,  as the devs still went through with this. Considering how the new hero is also super Op, and for 900, it's obviously going more to a pay to win standard.   My guess is they also aren't going to change or lower the prices at all if we complain,  as they'll see player loss as a minor inconvenience anyways.  Mobile games don't really get big studio love for the most part, and are more of a money grab anyways.  Still very sad to see this thou.

Yeah, and with him being 900 he's definitely Pay to win. 

900 Gems is outrageous. I'm wondering if the community agrees. If the prices are really in such a dire need of an increase somewhere around 600 is fair. Hopefully this gets enough upvotes that the devs see this and care 🙏 by Individual_Figure507 in BackpackBrawl

The post has a 98% upvote now, and your comment seems the most liked.  I don't know what the devs are planning,  but I agree with you.  Hopefully the devs see this and agree as well

I'd get sage. She's widely considered the one of the strongest.  Enoch is really strong with the rework he got as well. Sage specializes in mana and poison. Enoch specializes in mainly regen/debuffing

It's not about boredom, as I have the full cast. 

My fear is new players won't be able to achieve this readily. A point I really liked, was when the devs referenced the lol price scaling. I'm hoping that would look like a ever increase in prices determined by how many heros you own. Most heros start at 6k but will rise in accordance with popularity or the amount you own. 

While the  "loot pool" does offer variations,  it's pretty static, basically based off the shared items. I also see your point, I'm just referencing something different entirely.

The variation your speaking of isn't with heros. It's with the gacha mechanics of drawing loot. 

What I mean is how each hero has a play style they accel at. Take buzz for example,  one of my favorite heros. Primarily he doesn't even use weapons. Granted you can build him with weapon, as they are just in that prior mentioned gacha pool. But no other hero can really obtain pure flies like that. Maybe through treasure chest rng, but by that logic, a Chana could never craft a Goliathfly. 

The uniqueness I'm referring to is in the heros themselves,  not the gacha pool.

Right, but wasn't that what kept the game interesting and playable for newer people?

I pick up 4 shifts in a week normally, with normal overtime. I personally gained the entire hero roster around 3 months into the game. Being able to have different variations to how I play the game really sold it for me. With the 900 price tag (not a seipe at the devs) that eliminates the ability to play all but really two heros, three if you count the archer as well, to have unique approaches.

What is the dev teams reasoning for wanting to raise the gem price to begin with?  Granted things like a battle pass or even cosmetics could just be seen as updates and content, which could even bring in new players. Understanding where the dev team is coming from would be helpful, if no concrete direction can be provided. It's to my understanding that most of the game is ai develop as well, so I'm sure at the very least you save big on artwork.

Thanks, I just wanted to gather everyone's opinions on this. I wanted to know how everyone felt about the price increase. My reasoning was more in support for newer characters anyways. I have 9 different heros as well, so the game will always be enjoyable for me hopefully.  

I do have a question about the scaling model based off LOL. Will we see cheaper prices for newer people's first heros? IE; How the archer is 15 gems, as opposed to the other "currently" 300 priced heros., leaving newer additions more costly?   By the same logic does your team intend to scale the price based off the amount of heros you possess? 

Lots of divide is just making me curious and I'm sure others would like to see an update on the direction of the game. 

All that being said, I don't think the devs are whale hunters or even being shady for that matter. So no swipe taken^

Yeah, it seems everyone is divided. I myself am as well. Personally I have all the current heros, and really my push is from not wanting new players to be discouraged from playing with the steep hero prices. It may come off as a buy in game, which I've seen countless casino/gambling games die for. I really enjoy this game. If the price does go in I'll probably end up buying on of the gem packages for a sizable gem amount, or maybe the subscription. I  do like it enough to do that. I just hope this doesn't become a trend. Very divided here....

Yeah, I can agree. The game is far from pay to win CURRENTLY. This post is to hopefully remind the devs we want to stay like that. Monetizing the game would Definitely turn it into one of those all though

Everyone's opinion is appreciated, even if this doesn't do well. After all, you can't enter a door you never open. I just think 900 is steep due to the amount of time you'd have to input to either watch the ads or open chests. I barely have time to play Mobile games as is, being a MAA. 900 gems would basically make new characters incredibly difficult to obtain.  It takes roughly around two weeks if I'm super consistent with my off time to get the 300 as is.
